Bleeding after d&c - how long?

[miffy]

Hi. After a month of worry and a week knowing for certain that my baby had no heartbeat, I finally miscarried on Sunday at 10 wks 3 days. Fortunately I didn't have any pain and coped with most of it at home. However, the hospital wanted me to go in for a d&c to stop the bleeding, which I agreed to, and I came home Sunday night. I am still bleeding, slightly heavier than yesterday, but still not loads. I am just worried because it's red blood still and I would have thought it should be turning brown. Am I just panicking and being too impatient? I am on antibiotics to prevent any infection. I'm reluctant to ring the hospital because I really don't want to go back in! I've got a toddler keeping me busy too, maybe I'm just doing too much and need to take it easy? Any advice?

hi hun i'm sorry to read your sad news

when i m/c i bled for almost 2 wks and it went from light to heavy and back again frequently, mine didnt really change colour to be honest, it stayed quite red.

your probably right in saying you should rest more hun easier said than done i know.

i wouldnt worry too much unless your in pain aswell then get checked out again or perhaps just talk to your gp instead of all the waiting round at the hosp which is difficult with a toddler in tow.

my thoughts are with you

Sorry to hear about your loss hun.

Sounds fairly normal to me as I know it can go from heavy to light and back to heavy, if at all worried see your GP though.

Good luck hun xx
